Status context. The April 20, 2026 original laboratory research account describes actual model training and dataset generation on Frontier at the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility. The current facility site provides user support and names Frontier separately from future computing platforms. Government reported operation applies to this named research service. It does not establish operation of prospective Discovery or Lux systems, every campus component, an independent performance certification or a physical opening date.
